"Do the work you love & make the income you deserve!"
What do you like best about Toptal?

I really for the flexibility! I can choose my own hours and rate, all while doing the work I love. The clients are cooperative and you are guaranteed payment.

What do you dislike about Toptal?

What I disliked is how long it takes to get your first payment, a talent should save for 30-60 days before starting with Toptal.

What problems is Toptal solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a business owner of my own, I know the struggle to find reliable projects and/or clients. Toptal takes that burden away all the admin duties are gone.

I love the way Toptal takes care of everything so that the talents can concentrate and do what they are good at. Wonderful support, communication and structured very well.

What do you dislike about Toptal?

I've had two clients and both have very low-quality (bad) code. The client I ended engagement with wasn't structured at all, struggled financially. Didn't know the way to go with dev. Found their way to go a bit chaotic.

Toptal helps professional to find great clients and let's them concentrate at what they are good in.

What do you dislike about Toptal?

Toptal is an incredible talent community where I have the chance to work for excellent global clients with autonomy to design products and services. The job dashboard, the back office and payments tools give me piece of mind to just do my work and get (well) rewarded for it.

What problems is Toptal solving and how is that benefiting you?

Working on my own terms: time, location, rate, projects. I find the right projects and clients to work with something I feel proud of being a part to deliver and expand my design craft.

"Best idea becoming a Freelancer"
What do you like best about Toptal?

You can work remotely for any type of company all around the world with your own rate a only the hours you prefer. You also get access to many courses foranh languages / technologies / frameworks that also improve your skills.

What do you dislike about Toptal?

Probably one thing are all the benefits of working directly with a company with a contract, for example vacation days, some bonuses and that kind of stuff. If you want vacations you have to "pay" them, removing those days from your worked days.

What problems is Toptal solving and how is that benefiting you?

Total connects Freelancers with all the companies that require talent around the world, and this allows us to meet many people, select the preferred environment we want to work for, and continue learning.

How things are well described and structured. It's really easy to understand and navigate the website and the community is great and very responsive. You'll get all the help and support you need at no time,

Sometimes when applying to a job, you don't get any feedback from the matcher. It's easy to understand that someone else was selected before you but it would be great if we could get some feedback and status update on our applications

What problems is Toptal solving and how is that benefiting you?

How to better handle my time and learning new programming skills and improve the ones I already have.

"Best freelancing experience"
What do you like best about Toptal?

Toptal is great for helping talents to find the best clients and handle all the extra work in the middle. Moreover, they are also helping to improve talents with internal training.

What do you dislike about Toptal?

The only downside I can say is that since we are always with different clients, we cannot have paid vacations. It may be included in long-term contracts.

What problems is Toptal solving and how is that benefiting you?

They are finding the best clients to work with according to our preferences, tech skills and hourly rate expectations. They are handling payments so we don't have to deal with clients for urging payments or we don't have any delayed payments. If we had any problem, they are always close to help us.

"Getting paid on time & fairly"
What do you like best about Toptal?

- Always getting paid on time. - I can set the rate I want. - Most of the clients are good.

What do you dislike about Toptal?

It might take some time to find a new Gig, mainly for the skills which are less popular.

What problems is Toptal solving and how is that benefiting you?

Toptal is making it easy to find a client who pays well & on time. I worked on other freelancing platforms where most clients were looking for cheap work instead of quality work.
